This wouldn't be a great book for general reading or non professionals. However, if you work in Mental Health, this is a great investment. It takes the DSM and translates into usable, understandable language. I still use this book in my practice today.

Ok, So I have not read it all. I just read a few chapters required by a course I was taking. I rather enjoyed it. It has a lot of insight. But it is A LOT of insight, and I think one should come back and re-read it (or take summaries and survey them) now and then.

از اول دانشگاه تاحالا این بهترین و جامع‌ترین کتابی بود که دیدم. یه کتاب بسیار قوی و کاربردی برای روانپزشکیه و ازش یک عالمه مطلب میشه یاد گرفت. ویرایش دوازدهم با ترجمه عالی دکتر فرزین رضایی رو بخونید حتما.

there are a few books in Med school that I actually bothered to read and like with much gusto. This one is personal, I like it not because it is helpful but because it can pass as a leisure read. The first copy I had, I had it hardbound. Then someone stole it, so I bought another one while I was already a resident in Surgery. It doesn't hurt to try to profile my patient according to the DSM category.

Walopun cuma baca yang edisi bahasa Indonesia, tapi buku ini cukup bikin saya ngerasa terdiagnosis berbagai gangguan jiwa. Hahahaaha.. Tapi bagus bgt buat persiapan ujian, contoh kasus yang disajikan dapat memberi gambaran yang baik

Great book but nothing is complete

My Source during my psycihatric residency , found it comprehensive in many subjects , but could benefit of more organization and tabels

I used this textbook for my advanced clinical class. The text is well written and presents an outline of the major themes of psychiatry. The text also has very useful and informative chapter summaries. Highly recommended.

Amazing book. Comprehensive information on most of the psychiatric disorders. The size of the book intimidates, but once you start reading it; it's difficult to put down. The best part is, it's not 'text-bookish'.

Absolutely love Synopsis books...can take this book to any clinic, have read it on plane, etc. Somehow they managed to condense it for size (thank you very much) without leaving out important info.
